In a TV show, I heard the following exchange:

> Man: 生ビール
>
> Izakaya owner: 大？中？
>
> Man: 大で

I thought で was used to talk about location, so I'm a bit confused.

What does で mean in this case?

particle-で
What does で mean when ordering food/drinks?


This "で" is used for decision-making situation.

For example, you and your friends are talking about when to go traveling.

> Your friend: いつ旅行に行く？来週もしくは再来週？

When are we going on trip? Next week or the week after next week?

> Me: 再来週で。

Okay, then. Let us leave on the next week after next week.

Your example sentence also describes which one to choose large or medium size
of beer. Then, Man chose large one.

> Man: 生ビール
>
> Izakaya owner: 大？中？
>
> Man: 大で
